Overview
This system provides state and National data about confined
animal numbers (feedlot beef, dairy cows, swine, poultry, and other
cattle) and associated manure nutrients. Data are accessible as
a series of downloadable Excel files by year and animal type with
each file providing all available data for each state, or as customized
reports using seven formats allowing selection of the desired years,
geographic areas, animal types, confinement status, and data items.
These data are based on analysis of the data collected for the 1982,
1987, 1992, and 1997 Censuses of Agriculture done by the Economic
Research Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service in conjunction
with the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Data Files
The data are accessible in two ways:
The Standard
delivery is a series of downloadable Excel spreadsheets by year
and animal type with each spreadsheet providing all available data
for each state.
Custom
delivery allows users to prepare individual reports by selecting
desired years, States, animal type, level of confinement, and item
of interest (number of farms, number of animals, or manure characteristic).
